Chapter 306
In a dark interrogation room.
Two serious police officers sat across from each other, and one of them asked sternly, “Ellinor, do yo admit your crime?” Ellinor sat behind a small desk, with blank expression on her face, yet her answer “If you want to blame it on me, I have no way to stop youo.. Over the years, I have seen very few poli The policeman blushed with anger, and was speechless when he was refuted, “You...”
Another police officer coughed
heavily and said: “Ellinor, this is an interrogation room, one of the most serious places. This is not a p Ellinor nodded, “Fine, then I choose to remain silent. Any questions, you can ask rny lawyer directly. } Another police officer was also angered by her indifferent attitude, “Ellinor, you..."
Suddenly, someone knocked on the interrogation room door. A cop came in and called away
one of the interrogating officers.
In a while, that cop came back, communicated something about the case's
new development to his colleague...
After hearing it, the other cop seemed a bit flustered.
"Why did new witnesses appear?”
"Yeah! For such a simple case, there sure are lots of witnesses!”
“Members of the Howard family are here at the police station waiting for Ellinor’s interrogation resul today. I didn't expect another situation has appeared!”
"Anyway, let's take her to them first!”
“Ellinor, your lawyer's here. We're taking you to meet him now.”
Ellinor's hand was fastened to the small desk in the interrogation room, and a cop came over to unfa She stood up, followed the two cops
out of the interrogation room, into a spacious room, specially designed for outside visitors to see the Besides her lawyer, Case Quinne, the Howard brothers —
Balfour and Byran, Patricia and her good friend Haillie Knotts were all in the
room.
They all were waiting to see her final interrogation result.
Ellinor calmly glanced at everyone present, and then subconsciously looked around... However, there room.
She frowned. Who was she expecting?
That man wouldn't care about her anymore.
Of course, she didn't need him either.
She just felt a bit ironic!
Balfour sat on the visitor room chair, looking relaxed and exuding an extraordinary aura. He looked a touch of indifference
Then, he turned his gaze to Ellinor's lawyer, Case Quinne.

“Mr. Quinne, your reputation with Greenhaven is quite high, but now it's time to defend a man accus Case Quinne responded politely but firmly. “I'm a lawyer. My job is to fight for the fairest outcomes f Balfour chuckled, “Well, if you say so. I'm all eyes to see how you'll prove her innocence against the s As Ellinor was seated by an officer, the suspect who had attacked Patricia was soon brought in by an Seeing the suspect, Patricia tucked herself into Balfour's arms out of fear...
Balfour held her, murmuring soothing words. He looked up at the suspect who had once bullied Patr Case Quinne started
questioning, “Mr. Zachary, we've met before, so I won't introduce myself again. Now, please describe in detail how you committed the crime.”
Zachary had already confessed and had nothing to defend. He nodded obediently and began: “Three nights ago, Ellinor asked me to
meet by Trent River, transferred me $100,000 as a down payment, asking me to hurt a girl named Pa I thought, I could get the money and sleep with
a pretty girl, so I said yes impulsively. Later, Ellinor contacted me, told me where Patricia was in whict And then, I was caught by the police.”
After he finished, Case Quinne immediately asked, “So you're saying that you only committed the cri Zachary confirmed, “Yes!”
“So how did you and Ellinor meet?”
“It was accidental. She... found my contact online and reached out to me.”
Case Quinne continued, “As I understand, you were laid off from a company two months ago, but yo At that time, you just recommended the barbecue restaurant to her for a commission, and you signe was nothing else!”
Zachary lowered his head with a flicker in his eyes, “That's because she asked me to pretend to be th “Really? You were pretending to be the flyer guy? If you were pretending, then why did you need to : attack Ms. Howard? Does this plan require two months of preparation? Isn't that too cautious?” After thinking for a while, Zachary firmly said, “Ellinor stressed that I should be careful! She said that Ms. Patricia had a past with her husband, so she was jealous of Ms. Patricia, asking me
to prepare in advance and wait until Ms. Howard returned to the country to find an opportunity to a Case Quinne suddenly raised his voice, “You're lying!

I have the transfer record on my phone, you can check if you don't believe me!”
Case Quinne had of course already examined the evidence.
“The phone my client used was lost for a while that day, picked up by someone, and handed over to At this point, Balfour seemed a bit impatient. He interrupted, “Mr. Quinne, please don't overturn the evidence. I'm not interested in hearing your assumptions or possibilities, they are not persuasive. I ju witness the police mentioned? If there isn't, I'm leaving!”
Case Quinne glanced at his watch, clearly anxious, and then at Ellinor...
The new witness should have arrived by now, had something happened on the way?
“Excuse me, I need to go outside and make a phone call.”
